Kerberos doesn't work on Linux; looking for winkerberos and not falling back to pykerberos on Linux

[drobert-bfm]

Using Kerberos transport on Linux fails because the code looks for (and fails to find) winkerberos which is a Windows-only package. Upstream requests-kerberos has fixed this issue, but since the code vendors that package, the bug exists.

The vendored code does the same thing, it tries to import kerberos then does the fallback to winkerberos.

pywinrm/winrm/vendor/requests_kerberos/kerberos_.py

try:

if you are having errors that means your kerberos library isn’t installed or fails to import. I use pywinrm with kerberos all the time on linux/macOS.
